Kisaku - a neighborhood gem for sushi, South corner of 55th & Keystone Pl N and just off Greenlake
We started with hearty green salad and calamari and then dug into the rolls. The white soy paper roll in front is the Kisaku Roll: scallop, crab, mayo, flying fish eggs, soy paper, $7. http://www.kisaku.com

Rovers Charcuterie 101 & Burgundy wine classes engaging, enlightening, and so much fun to be a part of...
Rover's Wine & Culinary Classes for Saturday, May 23 included Chef Adam Hoffman's, Charcuterie 101 class.
Chef Adam walked us through an amazing terrine style pate baked in a water bath. What I really loved about this class was that he broke it down into what I would call "doable" steps for the home cook. That, (and with some exacting attention towards the nitrate formula) I love that I control the quality of ingredients involved in the recipes.
We also made linked sausage, and a silky duck liver pate a top crostini. Chef Adam also prepared a five pound pork belly slab that is soon to become this week's house apple smoked bacon. Yum.
Wine Director, Scot Smith walked us through seven wines, with an overview of the village, producer and some insight to the terrior specific to each region of Burgundy including pricey, Côte-d'Or.

Kiyo's Seafood Enchiladas
In our test kitchen, we made amazing seafood enchiladas: the filling included halibut cheeks, shrimp and scallops. We roasted the Anaheim chiles and simmered the tomatillos for the sauce. Scrumptious!

Navigating my way btw Ferry Terminal Bldg & Japantown by train, trolly and bus. Found these pins for Kiyo
We hopped on to Bart from Union City, switched trains at Bayfair Station proceeding on to Embarcadero Station where we popped up & out to the Ferry Terminal Bldg. What a beautiful day for patio dining at Hogs Island Oyster Co. and some amazing seafood gumbo.
Directionally challenged..I got us on the F Line to Montgomery then caught the 38 bus out to 1581 Webster St.
Japantown is bustling especially at the Kinokinuya Bldg. Red bean crepes at Sophie's Crepes & Oyako donburi at Izamiyas. Stuffed & happy.
